Fried Sweet Dumplings (Kadabu)

Kadabu is deep fried sweet dumplings with a dried coconut filling. It is a mandatory food during Ganesha Chaturthi. There are two types of filling that goes in them – one is hoorna (chana dal, jaggery and coconut) and the other one is dried coconut. I have shared the recipe with coconut filling earlier. In this recipe, I am using hoorna as the filling.
The hoorna stuffing is prepared the same way it is prepared for holige. You can find the fail-proof recipe for holige here.

Traditionally kadabu is served with ghee. A small dent is created in the center of the kadabu and ghee is poured into it. Make this for your next celebration and enjoy.
